Skipper2108 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Grand Hyatt WashingtonDates 11-4-03 to 11-8-034* Washington DC-White House-Capitol Hill $125*Warning* AAA Cheaper $119 I called Hotwire only to be told tuff luck! I called twice. One person was RUDE and nasty. Both said, do the Guarentee. This does not work for AAA rates. I rather pay less and get Bed I wanted.Positive note: Hotel was VERY VERY nice. Near all the major site seeing tours. The area was not great or bad. The Georgetown/ foggy bottom area is nicer if you can get it. This area is a great second choiceThe staff was wonderfull at hotel. No mention of Hotwire at all and every wish was granted. Why not, I paid more than their going AAA rate of $119. I do feel ripped off by hotwire and don't think I will use them again except for rent a car.I did try Priceline first about 20 times with different areas ect. Only to be turned down again and again.Thereuare: I am back and e-mailed you weeks ago never to get a responce?Hope this helps. Please edit this the way you need. Have not posted in awhile Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Sorry, i don't recall the email.Sorry to hear of your claim getting turned down, but it is pretty clear in Hotwire's Double the Difference Guarantee that AAA rates don't qualify. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Skipper2108 Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Understand But I was upset to get charged more than AAA. AAA is more than priceline or hotwire in most cases. What bothered me the most was the RUDE people at Hotwire. Why tell me to go do the Double the difference after I tell the the hotel offered me a lower AAA rate. They knew I would be wasting time I did not have. That's the point.Anyway please add the hotel to your list with the WARNING to call hotel first to ask for rates, before they book hotwire. Don't want to see anyone else get burned. Link to comment
